Enoteca L' Operetta - Singapore Restaurant Week

The 2nd last week of March was Restaurant Week in Singapore, and what happens is that lots of fine dining places have special lunch and/or dinner menus which you can try for S$35~S$50. Totally worth it! So this time we tried dinner at Enoteca L'Operetta, an Italian restaurant located in Boat Quay.

Capesante di Hokkaido al Forno con Burro Aromatizzato ♥

Oven-baked Hokkaido scallops with mushrooms and butter ♥

The scallop was large and succulent, and the mushroom flavors were saturated and simply scrumptious!

Salmon carpaccio ♥

It's forever delightful to indulge in salmon :)

Prosciutto di Parma! ♥

I looooove prosciutto, haven't had good ones since Italy!

Fettucini con Ragu di Kurobuta e Porcini ♥

Fettucini with pork and porcini mushrooms

Grilled seabass

Crispy and delicious!

Rigatoni con Salsa Pomodoro e Crema d d'Anatra Affumiciata

Rigatoni with tomato sauce and smoked duck

Pan-seared veal

Tiramisu~! ♥

One of my eternal favorite desserts,

I had a ton of these in Italy, my favorite's still the one from Pompii!

They had various paintings on their walls, saw this one of Venice,

and realized that I took a similar picture when I went there hehehe:

Okay, so there weren't as many gondolas present in mine but hey, it's the same view :P

Part of the Singapore River at night.

I love the sight of light reflected in water ♥ Or any reflected light for that matter; I find myself fascinated whenever sunlight hits my bling and reflects multi-colored light spots on the walls/floor!

Ahhh, eating all this Italian food made me think of all the delectable dishes I had in Italy/Spain in summer 2010. Prosciutto in Singapore is too darn expensive and not as soft/tasty as the ones in Italy! :( Though too much ham made us end up looking like balls of ham! >< But I miss Sepia a la Andalucia (cuttlefish cooked in garlic and olive oil) the most, and Pulpo a la Gallega (octopus cooked with paprika and potatoes) as well! Squid and other cephalopods are something I can never say no to!
